Key result
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was associated with significantly increased mean carotid intima-media thickness compared to healthy controls (0.80 mm vs 0.58 mm, p<0.0001).
Why the study?

Sabeen Aatif (2013) conducted a case-control in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (n=104). Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease vs. Controls with normal liver parenchyma was evaluated on Carotid Intima Media Thickness (CIMT) (p=<0.0001). Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was associated with significantly increased mean carotid intima-media thickness compared to healthy controls (0.80 mm vs 0.58 mm, p<0.0001).
